My Glimmersticks Diamonds Eye Liner Haul

Hey, beauts! I’m a huge fan of Avon’s Original Glimmersticks Eye Liners and most recently got to try out the Diamonds collection. There are 5 eye liners that make up the Glimmersticks Diamonds line: Black Ice, Twilight Sparkle, Smoky Diamond, Sugar Plum, and Brown Sugar. Sparkle, shine and shimmer with Glimmersticks Diamonds Eye Liner. Brilliant colors enhance the natural beauty of your eye color, and diamond strength ensure it will last all day! The retractable eye liner is self sharpening, allowing you to apply precision shimmer every time. Sure to be the gem of your makeup bag; add some sparkle to every day with this bold eye liner. All Glimmersticks liners are regularly priced at $7 each but often go on sale. Check out my Avon eStore to see if there is currently a special promotion offered on these!

I like that even though these liners have the sparkle shimmer infused, they do not irritate my eyes. The application is a snap — they just glide right along! I used to only use eye liners that needed sharpened with a sharpener but now these are my go-to. It is so nice to not have to worry about sharpening my liners and getting the clippings and chunks of product all over my makeup bag.

As of this post, the Glimmersticks Diamonds Eye Liners have a 4.4 out of 5 star rating with 272 online customer reviews. Online Comments about Glimmersticks Diamonds Eye Liner:
“Won’t use any other brand but Avon Glimmersticks for eyes. Tried them and none can compare. I order 6 at a time so I don’t run out. Very easy to apply and easy on the skin around the eyes.”
“Even with the sparkle you can wear this to work then go out on the town & not have to change make up! I love it. . It’s smooth going on. . It does break easily so don’t open it up to much or you will lose the tip. I will reorder!”
“I get many compliments on my eye make up when I use the Glimmer sticks. They are so easy to apply and control.”
“I have tried many different eyeliners and this is by far the best. I have oily skin and this stays in place and does not run/smear like most others.”

Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation + Blush Makeup Review

Hey there, beauts! I’ve known for quite some time that I adore the Avon Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation. It blends well, it’s fragrance free and it’s great for my sensitive skin. The Smooth Minerals line from Avon contains pure mineral pigments and the foundation provides build-able coverage with a natural, luminous finish. The regular cost of the Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation is $12, and I find that to be a steal. It often goes on sale which sweetens the pot even more! There are 12 shades to choose from, including a Transparent Glow and Bronze. I’ve found that my perfect shade is Light Beige. I have been incredibly happy with this product —so happy  that I came across it and gave it a try!
Prior to using this as my go-to foundation, I had never realized how fragrant my previous face makeup was. I really enjoy not having any scent while applying and my face seems to enjoy it as well — i’ve experienced far less breakouts since using it and I can tell that my overall skintone looks more radiant, even when the makeup is off! If you have tried other Mineral Makeup lines and love them, you are sure to love these products as well (And at a fraction of the cost). Why are you paying more money for products when you can get quality makeup from my Avon eStore? With Avon’s Money Back Guarantee, you have nothing to lose. If you do not like the product or if it is not quite the right shade, Avon will give you a full refund within 90 days of placing the order.
To apply this powder, I use Avon’s Kabuki Brush. It’s regular price is only $6.49 and I find it to be the perfect tool for this product’s application. The brush is soft and blends the makeup flawlessly. The bristles are not coarse and they do not shed as i’m circling the powder on my face. To clean, I use Baby Shampoo — works like a charm! 
For my bronzer/blush, I’ve previously used the mark. Glowdacious Illuminating Powder. While I do love it, i’ve been eager to try the Smooth Minerals Blush. The Glowdacious is more of a bronzer and i’ve been wanting to try out a pretty pink blush. The Smooth Minerals Blush is regularly priced at $10. Check my eStore to see if there’s a current sale or special promotion for this product. This blush, just like the Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation, contains pure mineral pigments. It works for all skin types, even sensitive skin. The formula (talc, fragrance, and oil free!) for this lightweight powder contains Avon’s exclusive 100% naturally derived mineral blend with essential nutrients plus vitamins. There are 8 shades available and my for my first go at this blush, I chose shade Blushing Mauve.
Upon receiving my order (I also ordered the Avon Pro Blush Brush), my first impression of the shade as I removed it from the box was: “Oh, that’s intense.” Honestly, I was worried that I would not like it because it appeared very bright.  I lightly dipped the Blush Brush in and tapped off any excess. I discovered if you desire a softer glow, just apply lightly. If you would like a more dramatic effect, go heavier. It’s that simple! The Blushing Mauve shade is a gorgeous pink with slight hint of purple. It was a fine choice for my fair skin. I’m looking forward to trying out the other shades as well but I know that this one is a keeper!

"I tried this to see if I could help condition my hair somewhat as it's fine and colored, with dry ends and breakage near the roots above my forehead.

My Avon Beauty Favorites | Post 4

Hey, beauts — Happy March! Spring is truly around the corner and I cannot wait. Sure, the snow is pretty to look at but so are bright colored flowers and sunshine! In my first blog post of March, i’ll be continuing my series on My Avon Beauty Faves Roundup, with Post Four. I hope you all enjoy it! Please, feel free to comment after the posting and share with us your favorite Avon beauty products.
I’m going to start first with the lipstick. The all-new Perfectly Matte Lipstick in shade Ideal Lilac is a perfect shade for Spring. It’s bright and the matte finish is a current beauty trend. This lipstick, while being a matte finish, is not drying to the lips. It never cakes nor cracks and has an incredible lightweight feel. It is one of my favorite Avon beauty products, I highly recommend trying it! You can purchase this shade and the other 11 shades to the line at youravon.com/ssandis. This product has a regular price of $9 each tube but as of this post is on special for just $5.99 each tube! I recently blogged on this new line of lipsticks from Avon, CLICK HERE to read my review, including swatches.
Avon Dazzlers Top Coat has been around for a while but I just recently got around to trying it out. There are 5 shades included in this line of nailwear, pictured above is Disco Ball. You can wear this top coat alone or over top of polish. Dazzlers are a fun way to dress up your mani! This product is regularly priced at $6 each but be sure to check my Avon eStore to see if there’s a current special promotional offer. What I like to do with this product is create a french tip look over top of my nail polish color. Then, on my ring finger apply it all over. What looks can/will you create with this product?
I am a HUGE fan of Magix Face Perfector! Before I tried it, I honestly did not think that it was necessary to my beauty routine. I did not see the point and I did not think it would make a difference. This, however, would be one of the times that I was glad to be proven wrong! This colorless face primer gets me prepped and creates a smooth canvas for my Smooth Minerals Powder Foundation. This product blurs the look of pores and lines and the added SPF 20 gives me extra confidence that my skin will be protected. Regularly priced at $11 each at youravon.com/ssandis As of this post, you can purchase a tube of the Magix Face Perfector for the lowest price ever of just $6.99! Give it a try and add it to your online order.
Finishing off today’s post is the Avon Makeup Remover Wipes with Mineral Complex. These wipes are a lifesaver! There are 24 wipes per pack and I only need one wipe to remove a complete face makeup. One pack lasts me almost a month (I don’t wear makeup everyday). I have sensitive skin but I have had no issues with irritation from these. I don’t notice any scent to these really, I just notice that they really get the job done! One pack of 24 wipes is regularly priced at $8, but these often go on sale for only $3.99 — so, check out my Avon eStore and get the best price! I like to stock up on these at that price, just store in a cool place and they won’t dry out before you get around to using them.
That’s gonna do it for today, loves! Thanks for reading and choosing to shop Avon & mark. products online with me. Keep checking back for more product reviews, news, and freebies — all coming to the blog, soon!
